"You need to install or update VLC and the VLC mozilla plugin!" with latest firefox under Linux about spydroid-ipcamera HOT 1 OPEN

It doesn't seem like this app is being maintained anymore. I "solved" this issue by just enabling the RTSP server in the app's settings, which by default goes on port 8086. VLC couldn't read the stream, but mpv could if I specified the option "--rtsp-transport", either as "lavf" or "udp".
e.g. the command would look something like:
mpv --rtsp-transport=lavf "rtsp://192.168.xx.xx:8096"

Still the biggest issue is whenever wi-fi connection is lost, the stream crashes. You could probably automate reconnecting in a shell script, and you'd lose a few seconds of footage at most. You might be able to reduce the timeout for crashing if you mess around with ffmpeg's options.

Hope this helps, as this app seems long gone and I can't find other FOSS options for turning android devices into IP cameras!
